What Is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that reshapes multiple areas of the body by removing excess skin and restoring firmness. This surgery is often chosen after weight loss or when skin elasticity has been compromised.

Types of body lift procedures in Scottsdale include:

  • Lower body lift: Targets the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and hips.
  • Upper body lift: Addresses sagging skin around the arms, chest, and back.
  • Circumferential body lift: Encompasses the entire midsection for dramatic reshaping.

Each procedure is tailored to your unique anatomy and goals, ensuring balanced results that complement your natural proportions.

Benefits of a Body Lift

A body lift at Athēnix Scottsdale offers transformative benefits:

  • Removes loose, hanging skin after weight loss or pregnancy
  • Smooths and tightens the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or arms
  • Enhances comfort and mobility by eliminating skin folds

Who Is a Good Candidate for Body Lift Surgery?

You may be an ideal candidate for a body lift in Scottsdale if you:

  • Have significant skin laxity after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging
  • Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
  • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
  • Have realistic expectations about recovery and results
  • Want to restore firmer, smoother body contours

At your consultation, our Scottsdale surgeons will review your health history, assess your skin and tissue condition, and create a surgical plan designed for your specific needs.

What to Expect During Body Lift Surgery

Body lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia in our accredited Scottsdale facility. The procedure may focus on one area or combine multiple areas depending on your goals.

  • Incisions: Carefully planned to allow for removal of excess skin and fat while minimizing visible scarring.
  • Tissue Tightening: Underlying muscles and tissues are tightened for improved support.
  • Skin Removal & Recontouring: Excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is smoothed to reveal your new contours.

Because of the procedure’s comprehensive nature, body lifts often require several hours and may be staged for safety and optimal results.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a body lift varies depending on the extent of surgery. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and soreness during the first two weeks, with gradual improvement over time. Compression garments are recommended to support healing and reduce swelling.

Many patients return to light activities within 2 to 3 weeks and resume normal routines within 6 to 8 weeks. Final results—firmer, more sculpted contours—become visible as swelling subsides and scars continue to fade.

Will scars be noticeable?

Is a body lift permanent?

Can a body lift be combined with other procedures?

How do I know if I need a body lift instead of liposuction or a tummy tuck?

A body lift is ideal if you have significant loose skin in multiple areas, while liposuction removes fat without addressing skin laxity. Tummy tucks target the abdomen specifically, whereas body lifts provide comprehensive reshaping.

Will scars be noticeable?

Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visibility, and scars fade significantly over time. Most patients find the improved contours far outweigh the presence of scars.

Is a body lift permanent?

Yes. While aging continues, results are long-lasting with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

How long is recovery?

Most patients need 6 to 8 weeks for full recovery, though light activity may resume earlier.

Can a body lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine a body lift with liposuction, breast surgery, or arm lift procedures for complete body rejuvenation.
